Beethoven: Egmont (CD)
Beethoven was involved with the theatre in one way or another from boyhood, and the commission to compose incidental music for Goethe’s play Egmont at the Royal Imperial Court Theatre in Vienna was the first of many such collaborations.
Beethoven’s score conveys the essence of this tragedy and reveals his clear affinity with its theme of heroic sacrifice by a man condemned to death for taking a valiant stand against oppression. Featured is the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra condocuted
beautifully by Leif Segerstam, with soprano Kaisa Ranta and narrator Matti Salminen.
